About time. If you're able-bodied, you should be required to serve the community in some fashion. There's always a need for community service. Folks should wanna give back to the community.
All we ever hear about (and correctly) from the left is that "our infrastructure is broken". They are correct. However, if I recall my history - The New Deal put a lot of unemployed folks to work building roads, bridges and dams (The Tenessee Valley Authority), Now? We are 20 TRILLION dollars in debt, they lie to us daily about the "unemployment rate" - they say 5.0% and I say BS - it's probably closer to 12%.
Veterans are unemployed after they return from combat. They go to work for Private Armies rather than work for $10 per hour and who can blame them?
You want to re-build our infrastructure? Put those on welfare, food stamps, and the like to work for a decent salary, Herbert Hoover did it - Franklin Roosevelt did it - why can't we? Oh, that's right....the left believes that it's "wrong" to expect those folks to actually work for the benefits they receive. Just like Blacks - they want them dependent on "government".
It's more than that. It's the unions that would start most of the trouble. You are not putting a welfare recipient to do the job of a union man without starting a fight. That has happened in cities across America that tried to do the same thing.
